"America just wouldn't be America without a sweetheart. [...] Her smile is pure Fourth of July fireworks."
Her star is blazing all over the world.🌟 She's a great American export. Conflicts of interest: Gosto da Taylor Swift. Não interessa como, mas gosto. Muito. Let's go crazy. Let's get crazy.
Paolo Nutini is one of the most underrated artists of our generation. He blends himself into the mesh of his songs [music and lyrics]. And oh, yes, this song is an IV drip for humanity.
"Iron Sky"
We are proud individuals living for the city, But the flames couldn't go much higher. We find Gods and religions to, To paint us with salvation. But no one, No nobody, Can give you the power,
To rise over love, And over hate, Through this iron sky, That's fast becoming our minds. Over fear and into freedom.
Oh, that's life Left dripping down the walls Of a dream that cannot breathe In this harsh reality Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind Serves now to define our cold society
From which we'll rise over love, Over hate, Through this iron sky, That's fast becoming our minds. Over fear and into freedom.
You just got to hold on! You just got to hold on!
Ohhh ohhhh oh oh
[Sample from "The Great Dictator" (1940) movie - Charlie Chaplin:] (To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, And the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, To make this life a wonderful adventure Let us use that power! Let us all unite!)
And we'll rise over love, And over hate, Through this iron sky, That's fast becoming our minds Over fear, Into freedom. Into freedom!
From which we'll rise over love, And over hate, Through this iron sky, That's fast becoming our minds Over fear, Into freedom Freedom
From which we'll rise over love, And over hate, Through this iron sky, That's fast becoming our minds. Over fear and into freedom. Freedom!
Drop off your high-heels. Life will hit you when you least expect it. Unshoe yourself. I feel it coming. Dance in the floor and enjoy the ride. Step by step.
Lana Del Rey ♡ Best Female Artist She's so good at what she does that her stage name is no more a noun. It's an adjective. I am so Lana Del Rey. That's my type.
Paolo Nutini covering one of the best songs ever. The lyrics have to published here, just because. And just because I don't want you to miss a line.
"Time To Pretend"
I'm Feelin rough I'm Feelin raw I'm in the prime of my life. Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives. I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars. You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.
This is our decision to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun. Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do? Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends. We were fated to pretend.
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms. I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world. I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home. Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do. Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew. The models will have children, we'll get a divorce, We'll find some more models, Everything must run its course.
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end. We were fated to pretend.
This song beats as fast as my heart. A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 BPMs. This song is closer to the high-end range. That means that my heart is beating faster than usual. This is what I call a beautiful song. Further reading: Does love make your heart beat faster? Link
The Weeknd, self-proclaimed "starboy", is about to be decrypted here. Já todos sabiamos aquilo que ele valia após o lançamento da música "Can't feel my face". He's good at metaphors. That's a fact.
This is the first track of the latest album of #THENBHD. I can only say that this intro is awesome. They were a bit lazy, though. They were late for work. When you have nothing to say just shut the fuck up. Did it work out? Yes, they were wiped out (title of the album). Such a powerful statement. Was it carefully thought? I don't know. Do I want to know? No, I don't.
Come on, little boy! You've brought so much joy to the lives of many.
You've brought so much joy into the world. You've brought so much hope to humanity.
What now?
What have they done to you? What's happening?
Life has been rough to you, my dear. But now it's time to move on.
Everything's gonna be fine!😊
The doctors will bring you back to life. You yourself will struggle for it. You are almost there. Your mind will be reset. Your vital signs will be ok.
Then, we can grow up, can't we?
Stay with me, sweetheart.
They don't understand. Some do, eventually.
I miss you so much. You were loved like no one. We are so proud of your past self.
Future yourself. Humanity needs you. Make the check-in. You're late. They are already boarding. Don't miss the plane. Last call was already voiced through the PA.
Run for your life. Contribute to humanity. You deserve it and so does the world.
May we dream again?
Tears will dry. That hidden suffering is past. That link between physical and mental health will be restored. AG is inside. Like the stickers on the laptops.
I need you. You need me. He needs you. She needs you. We need you. They need you. Greetings, <> Your future-self.<>
Be a human. Be a human. Be a human. 2'02'' sumariza tudo.

"Run" is a post-Britpop power ballad, composed using common time in the key of C major, with a tempo of 72 beats per minute. It is written in the common verse–chorus form, and its chord progression goes Am–Fmaj7/A–Gsus4, it repeats once, and later it changes to Am–F6/C–Gsus4, which also repeats one time, and then the sequence restarts. Lightbody's vocal range performs from A3 to F5, and the song features bass guitar, cello, drums, guitars, viola and violins as its musical instruments. Adrienne Day wrote for Spin that "Run" includes "guitar riffs”, whilst Joe Bosso described the song as "dark and moody".
A reviewer for Contactmusic.com commented about "Run". In its introduction includes a "trembling guitar", Lightbody's vocals as "velvet soft", and its refrain as "stirring stuff". Irish writer Peter Murphy called it a "strange hybrid", explaining it is "a lighter-waving anthem drenched in private grieving". Kevin Forest Moreau considered "Run" to has "plaintive lyrics, rigorous strumming, sweeping strings and a hook that yanks without reservation for the heartstrings of adolescent girls everywhere.” Claire Simpson described it as an "angst-ridden guitar ballad".
you're playing it dirty, Tove Lo. Não sei se o destaque que está a ter neste blog é merecido. But she does it well.
2nd song posted. Same set. Same stage. I saved you a google search:
Relationships: We have no records of past relationships for Tove Lo.
Keep it private until you can. Way to go.
Este é um tema recorrente na Tove Lo. Mais aqui . Mal posso esperar ver o Daily Mail ou o site que cobre a zona das 30 milhas de CA a associar a TL com rehab. Por falar nisso, Selena Gomez surpreendeu-me pela positiva nos AMAs. Grande lição. E era aqui que queria chegar. Quero conhecer os outros turn-on's da TL. Will I still love you when you're no longer young and beautiful?
No ano de 2009 viajei para Londres, via aeroporto de Gatwick, no mesmo avião em que seguia o Sr. que canta isto. Garanto que eu não sabia quem ele era, só sabia que ele era alguém famoso porque muita gente se aproximava dele e pedia autógrafos.
Lembro-me que quando cheguei a Londres me sentei no banco de trás do autocarro que fazia o transbordo para o terminal. Afinal eu ia sozinho. Depois sentaram-se mais pessoas ao pé de mim. Uma delas era o tal senhor famoso e os restantes membros da banda que o acompanhavam. Começaram a falar entre eles e depois lá consegui perceber quem eles eram. Estavam em fase decadente da carreira e tinham ido tocar a Cantanhede.

Voltei a ouvi-los hoje numa estação de rádio dos EUA com K call-sign.
All I know are sad songs, sad songs __ ___ __
A performance, em baixo, seems to come straight out of an episode of grey's anatomy, só que na vida real. Aos 2'34''.
At the end, everyone around recognizes his genius, except him.
Do álbum OK Computer, saem letras escritas pelo código da vida. Hard to understand by others, apenas descodificadas pelo código que há em cada um de nós. Escritas de forma complexa, propositadamente. Letras percebidas de forma empática por uns e pela forma mais dura por outros.
Code of life has written and explained the science of love.
Lots of Love, impossível não gostar de ti. É impossível não gostar porque o amor é uma ciência, and as a lecture of quantum physics, it is fucking hard to understand. So, we dislike it until we find its purpose and usefulness.
A ironia do destino, é que é uma pesquisa no google que explica esta letra a muita gente. Yes, the computer of your brain (the same that f*cks you up) has created the computer at your desk.
"The official music video for "Girls" was released on 23 October 2013. It follows the video for "Sex", which changed the art style of the band's music videos that were originally monochrome. Rather than reverting to the black-and-white style, the band decided to continue making music videos in color. Speaking about the music video, lead singer and guitarist Matt Healy said:
When we released our last video ['Sex'], people really reacted to the fact that it was in colour. There was a lot of conjecture and talk surrounding it - due to the fact that it was an unexpected stylistic change. It was brought to our attention that certain people thought we were 'conforming to a record company's wishes' along with other expected and unexpected clichés. Obviously this couldn't be further from the truth, we are lucky enough to be surrounded by a group of individuals whose mantra centres on facilitating our creative wishes, we found the whole idea of us being told what to do fascinating. The story of the band who suffer at the hands of a record label shortly after a delirious rise is a tale as old as time. So we kinda wanted to make a tongue-in-cheek video about it. Twinned with our love of '80s pop, its innocence, grandiosity and conceptual ideas in music videos – we wanted to make a video about a record label's attempt at enforced conformity. We got our mate Adam down to a studio in Los Angeles at the start of our USA tour, got four models and made a video about us not wanting to make a video."

Os mencionados são claramente as estrelas mais cintilantes da cena musical atual. De longe.

Fast Forward to 55'00''. Play it. Goste-se ou não.
O poder da música enquanto arte WTF! é inegável. O sotaque do D. Guetta no meio disto tudo é o que menos importa. Tudo passa a ser tolerável. Fire away.
A música transforma-se em química . Os químicos ganham fórmula C11H15NO2 musical.
Diz que a edição mais recente acabou de acontecer. No Estado da Flórida, em Miami, para o ano há mais: https://ultramusicfestival.com
#ELI5 # A admiração que eu tenho pelos editores de vídeo que no meio de tantos coisos, só focam good-looking people. Não é discriminação, é compaixão.
#Tu só vais para seres igual aos que aparecem nos vídeos, mas -spoiler alert- não vais ser como eles. É tudo uma encenação. Ou Marketing. Ou outra cena qualquer. Tu pagas para pretenderes. Quem recebe o dinheiro sabe bem quem tu és.
#O extraordinário é que continuamos a pagar. Até pagamos sem querer. Ou queremos sem pagar. That's the power of music.
A música mainstream ensina-nos muita coisa, apesar de tudo.
A história que esta canção conta encontra semelhanças na vida de todos nós. Os destinatários da frase que escrevi anteriormente são precisamente aqueles que discordaram da mesma assim que a acabaram de ler.
R.I.P. 2 My Youth recebeu dos THE NEIGHBOURHOOD um tratamento lírico e musical assinalável. O tema foi pela primeira vez escutado através da estação de rádio KROQ, como o vídeo em baixo documenta.
A canção aborda uma das fases mais difíceis de qualquer ser humano, e não é complicado antever que, mais tarde ou mais cedo, esta trilha sonora tenha um resgate para qualquer filme de Hollywood. Só espero que a canção sirva de base a um filme conceptual e não receba Hollywood treatment, pois é um assunto demasiado intenso para ser tratado de forma leve.
Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles,
Just what you'd expect inside her new Balenciaga.
Vile romance, turned dreams into an empire.
Self-made success now she woes with Rockefellers.
Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound but we don't feel like outsiders at all.
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
Young James Dean, some say he looks just like his father,
But he could never love somebody's daughter.
Football team loved more than just the game
So he vowed to be his husband at the alter.
Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound but we don't feel like outsiders at all.
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
We know very well who we are, so we hold it down when summer starts.
What kind of dough have you been spending?
What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
Os London Grammar são a extensão lógica da poesia shakesperiana.
De casta britânica, e num tom que varia entre o dramático e o melancólico, os London Grammar têm tudo para ser a banda revelação Outono-Inverno 2013-2014.
O warm-up parece feito, e está recheado de boas críticas. O britânico The Guardian tem referido, várias vezes, a competência da banda. Do outro lado do Atlântico, o apelo ao sentimentalismo da vocalista e restantes membros, também começa a reunir likes e a colher bons ratings.
Não têm a força pop de uma banda made in US, nem vêm com um produtor de créditos firmados, mas têm a essência e ingenuidade de quem gosta daquilo que faz.
Está tudo lá. Talento, bom gosto e falta de confiança.
Dêem-lhe suporte. Apoio.
Som de retorno e um bom técnico de som. Ajustem os controlos de áudio e puxem-lhe pelos graves.
Até lá, não a deixem utilizar - pelo menos em grandes montras (e.g. SNL) - nem o talento nem a amplitude vocal.
Apetece gostar, e ficar por fora a torcer.
Será grande, se a auto-confiança deixar.
Mas o talento estará sempre lá. E ela sabe disso [ver, ouvir e sentir seg. 23 e 41 do vídeo].
Pode não ser verdade, mas apetece tanto que seja [..]
